API Onboarding for DSVs

Updated 1 week ago ​by Merch Transformation Change Management

Getting Started

The first time you complete your Global Supplier Agreement with Walmart.com, you will receive an email from Walmart with the Subject “Walmart Supplier One – Invitation to Start Onboarding”. Click the Registration Link button to get started. 

You will be taken to a page to create your Supplier One account. Your user name is auto-filled based on the contact info you provided in your Supplier Agreement. Select three Security Questions and provide answers for each one. ​Then, click Save and Continue. After you create your account, you can log back in with your user name and password to finish Registration at any time.  

Complete Onboarding

In order to complete onboarding as a DSV API user, you will need to complete steps in both Supplier One and using our API. 

Supplier One Steps

  1. Add a distribution center: Click the button Add New Distribution Center and fill out all of the required information. When you are finished, click Save.
  2. Add your contact information: Provide contact information for your Customer Service, Alarm Notification, Finance and Claims. When you’re finished, click Save and Continue.
  3. Provide information for returns: Click on the Returns tab. Provide the address and contact information for your Return Center. Then, click Save and Continue.
    If you would like to establish either an EDI or XML connection, read DSV Onboarding: SPS Commerce Services to learn about SPS Commerce Services. 

Steps in Developer Portal (using our API)

The DSV API documentation in Developer Portal will walk select 1P suppliers through each step listed below. These steps can also be completed in Supplier One.

  1. Set up items
  2. Set up inventory
  3. Fulfill orders

API Integration for Online Personalized Products

Personalized suppliers can sell items that allow Walmart’s customers to personalize the products to their individual preferences. Personalized suppliers must be set up as a DSV (drop ship vendor). After successfully completing the onboarding steps, you will be able to set up personalized products, check the submission statuses, and fulfill and ship orders via API. If you cannot directly integrate with Walmart as a DSV, please ask the personalization team about 3rd party personalized integration options.

If you are interested in becoming one of our personalized vendors, please submit a ticket in Supplier One for approval. Once approved, a member of our personalization team will contact you with next steps. Existing suppliers should work with your Category Specialist (Buyer) to get approval for onboarding as a Personalized DSV.

Please note that Walmart may suspend or terminate your DSV account at any time. For a list of termination reasons, click here.  

Additional Information

  • The Payment History allows you to view your past payments by supplier ID, timeframe, and invoice/purchase order number. You can view more details by each check number.
    • This information has been integrated from the Accounts Payable Inquiry System (APIS), allowing suppliers with an active vendor number to monitor various financial- and payment-related data.
  • The previous DSV Payment History Report has moved to the Reports page and been renamed. Find it under Payment and Sales > DSV Shipped Orders Report. The report is still only for DSV suppliers.
